I have some oil paintings I want to ID the signatures of. One is very difficult to read but occurs on two similar paintings of vases and fruit. Another is a name (something like Franc Lund - perhaps) on the back of the frame, and a symbol on the actual painting shaped like an 'm' with a harsh line across the top; a seascape with rocks. The third says Sam Burden and is an oil scene of a fishing village in the English West Country. Does anyone know about these works, or how I can get them identified without paying someone to do so. Thanks.

Will try to help you if you can post pictures of the paintings, but you must realize it is very difficult over the internet.
